Remembering a Sweet Little Boy: Andrew Hunter Murray

Remembering a Sweet Little Boy: Andrew Hunter Murray

  I had the privilege of knowing Andrew Hunter Murray. He was a very special young boy and although being confined to a wheelchair and requiring constant supervision, Andrew was always a very happy child.  His eyes would light up a room, and his smile was infectious.  You could be in the worst mood, spend no more than 1 minute Andrew, and be laughing right along with him. Unfortunately, at 6 ... Read More »

Are You Saving Enough?

Are You Saving Enough?

Ever wonder if you’re saving enough money for retirement? Even if you’re in your 20’s, most experts say you should be saving 10-15% of your annual income each year!

PLEASE! Do your research!

PLEASE! Do your research!

So, I have a confession to make, and it’s kind of a silly/nerdy confession. For anyone who read my first post, knows that I am an animal lover and I’m also a vet tech, so this is where my confession stems from. (And I just came from work so it’s weighing on my mind).  Probably my biggest pet peeve is when people buy a dog, and then decide a few months later that they don’t ... Read More »

Everyone Matters When It Comes To Toxic Ingredients

Everyone Matters When It Comes To Toxic Ingredients

  I was a young child in the 60’s and 70’s; the TV series Mad Men depicts perfectly what life was like back then. The times were very vulnerable and trusting of our government for our well being. I watched my Mom daily put on her make up, lipstick and spray her teased hair with heavy hairspray to get dressed for the day.  At night she would lather her face with cold cream to sleep...

Teething Snacks

Let’s face it, no one enjoys the teething process. When a child is teething, it is rough on everyone! Every time Hadley went through a teething phase, I felt like a waitress at a bad restaurant. I was constantly making different meals, only for her to send them back with an attitude. Now that I have been through a handful of these phases, I wanted to share a few of the healthy teething snacks that... Read More »
